"so Julie probably picked up on that."
No, actually Jule read the original NPR News link which refers to both missions as "satellites." Then, Julie went and researched specifically both missions. Numerous references are made to both missions being instruments and/or satellites. Then Julie made her first post about the issue.
And again, the issue is NOT about calling them satellites or missions or instruments - hell, call them little thingies in the sky for all I care. The issue is the proposed funding cuts to end these missions and the underlying rationale behind it.
Or one could close their minds to THAT debate and continue to argue whether is drizzling or sprinkling outside.
